Cycling holiday in Sterzing
In Sterzing, Alpine tranquillity, a historic old town and diverse cycle paths combine to create the perfect leisure cycling experience. From family-friendly valley cycling to challenging MTB trails and the legendary Brenner route, the region offers varied tours to suit every taste. Cycle, enjoy & discover!
Vipiteno is a real paradise for cyclists and mountain bikers: the town in the upper Eisack Valley in South Tyrol is located directly on the renowned Brenner-Bolzano cycle route, a central section of the Munich-Venice long-distance cycle route, and offers an extensive network of cycle paths through impressive landscapes.
Valley cyclists enjoy the gentle paths along the river during their cycling holiday in Sterzing, while culture-loving leisure cyclists can comfortably discover historical places such as Sterzing or Gossensass on two wheels. Those who like it a little wilder will also find countless trails and forest roads with varying degrees of difficulty in the surrounding side valleys of Ridnaun, Pfitsch or Ratschings.
Cuisine & enjoyment between alpine pastures & town
Vipiteno and its surroundings also spoil cyclists away from the trails with typical South Tyrolean culinary delights. The ‘Eisacktaler Kost’ speciality week takes you on a culinary journey of discovery, showing how regional ingredients are used in traditional dishes such as Tirtln, Schlutzer and bacon variations, as well as in wine.
Along the way, over 50 alpine pastures and huts invite you to enjoy traditional cuisine in an alpine atmosphere – from hearty snacks with grey cheese and bacon to homemade alpine butter. But even in the middle of the city, local delicacies such as Sterzing yoghurt reflect the lively culinary tradition.
Between the valley cycle path and the high-altitude route
Sterzing is the starting point and intersection of numerous remarkable routes. The Brenner-Bozen cycle route, for example, runs along former railway lines and nature trails through the upper Eisack Valley – ideal for leisure and long-distance cyclists alike.
If you want to take a closer look at South Tyrol, you should try the South Tyrol Cycle Route. It connects seven towns on an enjoyable tour. The Munich-Venice Friendship Cycle Route, on the other hand, leads over the Alps to the sea via the Brenner Pass and past Sterzing, while the Puster Valley Cycle Route heads towards the Dolomites.
